This is so awesome! I went and checked my email and found that my two newest designs have been purchased! It totally rocks! The more purchases, the more people will be helped.

Also, for my job, I am teaching myself basic greetings in a few languages. I am on the international concourse at the HJ-International airport in Atlanta and I meet so many people from so many places. I love the look on a customer's face when I greet them in Russian, Czech, or whatever else languages I can remember. I come across many Russian, Czech, German, and Swedish customers and have had a couple from Finland, Denmark, a lot from England, but they speak English and I know that lol. I am even thinking about doing some art with the Greek and Russian scripts, but it will be awhile before I get it up online since my phone had bee cut off to save money. Times are tough, but I am glad my online sales are picking up.

Here is a look at some of my art cards.

It's such a simple plan really, but I am thinking that all the politicians are scared to do this:

TAX ALL THE CEO'S OF CORPORATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just think of all those big guys who all the little employees are scared of. They jump at CEO's beck and call.

Our politicians are way to scared to tax them because they are BOUGHT politicians. America is not a democracy anymore unless you just happen to be a CEO.

And Renaye, you are soooo right. Capitalism sucks big time.

My sweetie has me into yoga, here I am a really big girl and very non flexible doing yoga. My muscles are cussin me out--muscles that I didn't know I even had. My back locked up on me. I was in that accident back in September of last year and was diagnosed with arthiritus in the back. But its good excersice and Aditya, my boo, even tells me that he sees a difference in me every day, but he is my boo so of course he would be so positive and upbeat. This dude has a serious energy. I mean, he is speed. He is so energetic and I just sit there and go, "Huh?" just trying to keep up with him.

Also I got this cool book on celtic knots, and yes, I am drawing them. It is a very fun challenge and I feel great when I have finished one. I am still out of work, though I have been looking and just got my last check today and will pay for two more weeks of rent and two more weeks of marta cards for myself. My mother is doing better and even has a job interview this week. I hope she gets it. I am also reading stuff by a dude names Yogananda, I can't spell his first name and its hard trying to even pronounce it but he writes some seriously deep and interesting poetry...or should I call it literature. His writing style is very poetic and I respect all writers who can write images into our minds.

I went to Hosea Feed The Hungry today to get some food for my mother and myself. I should have brought a suit case. That fudge brownie/peanut butter cheesecake was fresh and delicious! That was one of the many things given to me.

I had an excellent experience there. We had to wait awhile because one of the social workers called out or something but we watched a video, were provided with coke or water and I killed time by drawing. The staff seemed to really care about each and everyone of us and, unlike most of the services I have experienced in the past, I can honestly say that I enjoyed my day!

I encourage each of you who read this to donate something to HFTH. When I get the extra funds, I will, and I will also donate some of my time.

I am still hanging in there, my rent is paid up and we have food and I am just grateful to God for that. However, my Marta card expires next week so I will be walking from place to place. I hope I get a job soon. I have been plastering the city with my resumes so maybe something will come up. Here is some eye candy for ya!

My boyfriend is really sweet! Or was. Until he disrecptected my mom. You see, my mother was on the streets, and he, a GSU student, would help her, buy her food, and would be just so sweet. Then I met him, and fell for him, you know, and moved my mom and one of her friends in. I am glad I moved her friend in, he has been a big help and has looked for work alongside of me. He is not nasty or uses drugs or any of that. Enough about her friend, I am talking about my man. He is acting like a child all of a sudden. Its like he has been demonically possessed! And it scares me--not physically, but I am scared for him. I am Christian and he is--or was Hindu. He now thinks he is the Most High God--or is he just saying that to irritate me and get my attention? Then, he called and my mom picked up the phone. I was on the toilet. He accused of her lying about me being in the bathroom...WTF??? Why would I lie about using the bathroom?????? His sister apparently mentally abused him and he called me cold hearted when I told him that I did not appreciate him talking about how pretty other women are and about how he wanted them...then he tells me that he is mine and that I have his heart. He loves me a lot. If he did, then why all of this drama?? I have enough problems without someone trying to make my blood pressure go sky high! I am trying to keep my mother and myself off of the streets! I just don't know what to do except for pray. I have been praying. I can't just drop him, I care about him. As a Christian, I feel as if I need to do something to help me. What happened to the dude I met who did believe in God--even if his god wasn't my God? Now he thinks he is god. I am just left here scratching my head, and blinking in disbelief.

I have never had this problem. I used to could just get a job like the snap of a finger but this economy really sucks! Even McDonalds ain't hiring! At least, I was told that by a manager there. I feel so hopeless. FEMA paid our rent for a month and I have been submitting resumes, filling out applications, and just on and on. I think that God has forgotten about me. I am scared that my mother and I will be on the streets again. I have a clean record, but even child molestors get jobs. All the staffing agencies hire Mexicans only--those illegals and that is so annoying. I am so frustrated. If you are illegal, you get work, but if you are American, its like haha fuck you!

A special lady is someone who is special in someone's life. So what about the ladies in the women and children's shelters? What about the ladies who are abused and have nowhere to go? What about them?

Did people forget about the women and that our children are number one among the homeless in America? I haven't. Here is what I am doing about it. I am launching a new art line called Special Lady which is dedicated to benefitting the shelters that provide special assistance to women and children. So far, here are the few pieces that are done:
